Curious, Richard leaned into Pearl’s ear and whispered, “Aren’t you mad?”
“Do you think I’m that worse off?” Being generous, Pearl felt that it was unnecessary to get angry since
her boyfriend was not snatched away.
Chuckling, Richard agreed, “Yeah, you’re not bad.”
Pearl was a woman of many talents-a top hacker, a skilled car racer, a talented singer, the president of
Cerubleu, a designer, and a good e-sports player. With these accomplishments, she didn’t need to
argue with anyone. Her charisma spoke for itself.
“I’ll just ignore them since facts speak louder than words, and justice will be on my side. But if they
can’t understand, then…” Pearl shrugged, indicating that it was pointless to argue with those who
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcouldn’t understand.
“Exactly the woman I fell in love with.” Richard smiled and affectionately hugged her waist. Their
intimacy caught the attention of those around them, silencing the discussions.
Richard excused himself to the restroom, leaving Pearl sitting on the sofa, checking her social media.
Seizing the opportunity, Jenny approached Pearl after congratulating Dustan. “Pearl, what did you get
for Mister Dustan?” Her loud voice attracted the others.
Pearl smiled. “Nothing much. Just a small gift.”
“A small gift?” Jenny asked, exaggerating it. “It’s Mister Dustan’s birthday, and you only got him a small
gift? Considering how kind he’s been to you, that’s rather thoughtless.”
Pearl didn’t want to engage with Jenny, but it seemed the latter enjoyed provoking her.
“I see,” Jenny continued, taking advantage of the situation. “Perhaps Mister Dustan doesn’t care much
about you because he’s always thinking of me. I can’t help it either…”
“Are you done?” Pearl spoke calmly. “What kind of gift did you buy then, Miss Jenny?”
“Oh, it’s nothing much,” Jenny said casually. “I bought him a watch.” Then, she emphasized, as if to
ensure Pearl was aware, “It’s called ‘Rupert’s Heart.’ It’s not very expensive, but it’s one-of-a-kind in the
world. I thought it would suit Mister Dustan.”
Pearl’s eyebrows twitched as she burst into laughter. “Didn’t that ‘Rupert’s Heart’ watch have a
mysterious buyer last year, and its current whereabouts are unknown? I wonder where you managed to
find it, Miss Jenny.”
“Well, I happen to be friends with that mysterious buyer,” Jenny replied confidently, slightly tilting her
chin up. “He was abroad at the time, and we happened to cross paths. He then sold me the watch.”
“What a coincidence!” Pearl smirked, thoroughly enjoying herself. “That mysterious buyer happens to

Wayne had a habit of collecting watches, and he would often show off his new acquisitions to Pearl.
Jenny, of course, had no knowledge of Wayne, but she nodded as though she did. “Yeah, that’s him.”
“Great, I’ll give him a call right now to confirm,” Pearl said as she reached for her phone. “We can also
find out where the watch actually is.”
Stunned, Jenny realized her lies would be exposed if Pearl made that call. She wasn’t that foolish, so
she desperately tried to stop Pearl. “Wait, please. It’s been a long time since I saw him. He might have
forgotten all about me if you ask.”
“Miss Jenny, you’re a big star. How could he forget you?” Pearl replied, unfazed. She didn’t stop and
began looking for Wayne’s WhatsApp.
Jenny’s smile stiffened. She felt that Pearl was intentionally trying to humiliate her.
